How many of you have to work today or on any other holiday?

i hate working on holidays and weekends. i don't think people come to office during weekends or holidays to complete a task. In IT industry people will be in office on weekends and holidays because they don't know what else to do other than coming to office. One more reason is if we come to office, many facilities such as Internet, A/C etc will be there which are rarely present at home.

Well since my work is done at home on the computer, I can set my own hours. But I still do my work on holidays if I am not going to family's houses. Now when i worked at the nursing home, I hated working on the holidays. mainly beause it was so sad seeing the patients with no family or anyone to visit them. My boyfriend has to work today. He is there now. He had to be in at 6am. But its time and a half so no complaining from me. He, on the other hand, was not thrilled to have to get up today and go to work.

Luckily the place that I am employed allows us to have most of the holidays off. For Thanksgiving we get Thursday and Friday off and for Christmas we usually get two weeks off.

Rarely. I can't stand working on holiday & weekends. Fortunately, I never had to. But my problem is I don't like my job. I wish I could find and get the job that I want to devote all my time to.

As a Customer Service Representative, I have to work on Holidays if it does not fall on my days off which is Weds & Thurs. Surely, I always work on weekends...I really don't mind though even if I work on Holidays...the pay is good :)

I am working today! I work for a fortune 500 company and in addition to getting paid for the holiday, we get 1.5 times pay for working. That's a total of 2.5 times pay for working on a holiday - not bad!

I work for an online company based out of New Zealand. As I am in the United States, some of our holidays are different. And with the time difference, I am a day behind them. I do work at least one day on each weekend, and I do have a few holidays off. But for the most part, I am working a lot. I worked New Year's Eve and am working today, New Year's Day. But I did have off the day before Christmas, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day, so that was nice.

my fiance had to be at work at 7 am so he had to get up at 5:15 this morning. So needless to say we didn't do much last night. I got a little drunk and we went to bed before midnight.

I been lucky with my past jobs. I had a freelance job where I was able to set my own days and pretty much my own hours as well. If I do have to work on the holidays, I wouldn't mind it.

Hi My wife works in the "Care Industry" and she looks after the old people. This means of course that there are no holidays! She works a shift system, and so if her shift falls on Christmas Day or New Years day for example, she works it! For the last three years she has worked every Christmas Day!

I am a stay at home mom so i am always working lol. When I use to work out side the home I was always very luck and did not have to wrok on Holidays

Oh no I am in the lucky position not to have to work on these holidays. I have another 2 weeks of holiday left...yepee! I am gals Im not working in the retail industry, as these poor people are now experiencing the busiest time of the year and has to work on all of these holidays.

i simply hate working on holidays!! It is so depressing to go to office when the rest of the world is holidaying esp saturdays!!I think all organisations should only work 5 days a week and should make this mandatory!! Weekends should be for the family and for finishing up house chores and some time for yourself!!Otherwise you just step into the the next week without any rest and a tired brain!!

Yes! I almost work on every holiday. For That matter I hardly avail even weekly OFF! Surprised? I am working for a Stud farm in the capacity of a Resident Veterinary Surgeon. Thats the reason I am staying on the farm and attending the cases irrespective of the time. It is same for me, either it is day or night or holiday or an ordinary day! I really don't feel anything about it , I even don't get irritated or get crazy about it, as I love my horses and I know that they require my attention when they are in real crisis. Thats the reason why I work all around the clock and I get a sort of satisfaction to see a horse relieved from pain because of me! People call me an workaholic, but I think I really can't do without it! Yes , then I take Off abruptly to have a fun for a day or two and during that time I along with my son and wife go to some Mall or Sopping complex for some shpping and then see a movie and come back to the farm after having Dinner out side only and in addition to this I definitely make a point to avail my annual leave, which normally I take during our works' Offseason !

No... I hate to work even on workin days... ha ha ha... I really do hate...

im used to working 9am-6pm, mon-friday, therefore it's still culture shock for me as it's mostly 5 1/2 day working days in singapore...i hate it that when im working, and other people are still sleeping or relaxing...LOL i know it's bad of me..but it's so depressing..that's why, i hope, i will never be in retail line, where i have to work on weekend and public holiday too...

I am studyng so it is how to work

I hate working during holidays and weekends, but we need to, to earn a living... we were hired by our employers to do things for them that they can't do or hate to do....to work during holidays and weekend.

i have to work on holidays as the industry where i am working is forcing me to do. i am not fully satisfied with as they are paying me double but the thing is the holidays are to enjoy dont look for the money as it is not will be with us for the whole life..
